The Peace Preservation Law was enacted in Japan allowing the Special Higher Police (Tokubetsu Kōtō Keisatsu or Tokkō) of the Home Ministry to arrest "anyone who has formed an association with the aim of altering the kokutai" (the "national essence" of Japan) or having "joined such an association with full knowledge of its object".
Criticism of the government could be considered an attempt to alter the national essence.
This is exactly the way the Republican Party is acting today.
A "Thought Section" of the Tokubetsu was created to monitor "dangerous thoughts" or "thought crime" within Japan and its territories.
The Saltair pavilion, in Saltair, Utah at the Great Salt Lake in the United States, was destroyed by fire.
